RULES & GUIDELINES
general rules;
i. please follow all cs site rules.
ii. please be kind and respectful to all staff and members.
iii. please be patient and do not pester staff to judge adopts,
open nursery slots, reply to explore posts, etc.! staff have
real lives to attend to, and stars work can take some time.
iv. we do not tolerate bullying or harassment. please dm me
if there is a concern about this policy or you would like to
speak privately about anyone's behavior. i am available on
discord and chicken smoothie and will get to you asap.

game rules;
i. there is no limit to the amount of cats you may own.
ii. you must create an archive within 1 month of
receiving your founder, or else it will be readopted!
iii. your clan lore doesn't need to follow stars lore! you
may have custom ranks, name styles, ancestors, etc.
your clan doesn't even need to be a clan -- tribes,
rogue groups, and unique groups are all welcome!
iv. magical/fantasy aspects (i.e. wings) are allowed in
canon, but should not be included on official stars refs.
v. you may have up to two clans! please post your second
clan link on the archive. you can still only get one
founder and three hunger-free explore posts in total, not
per clan. your level/exp will be the same in both clans.
vi. if a user is banned or deletes their cs account, their
cats will be readopted, unless the user contacts Swishy
via Discord. MYOs / customs originally owned by the
user will be considered 'dead', instead of readopted.
vii. a user cannot request a free founder until their
account is 2 months old and has at least 75 posts.
viii. players should remain respectful, at all times,
when topics expressly mentioning age, race, ethnicity,
nationality, culture, religion, mental health, gender
identity, sexual orientation, or disability are brought
up in casual conversation as well as lore.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
GUIDE TO GETTING STARTED
i. describe your founder using the form below and post it on the main
thread! you may request one common edit and any nr edits for your
founder! our edit list is here. you may only redeem one founder.
ii. create your clan’s thread and clan name. you may use this board
to do so or create your own website, toyhouse folder, etc. the only
requirement is that your archive must be cs-appropriate.
iii. while you wait for your founder, you're free to try out for adopts!
iv. once an artist has claimed your founder form and posted your
founder, be sure to post your archive link on your founder's page!
if you don't do this within a month, your founder will be readopted.

you can go exploring and respond to quests!

      EXPLORING / PATROLLING
      to start exploring, head on over to the explore thread and fill out the explore code provided! you may change the formatting, but please be sure to keep all the information from the base coding clearly visible. here is a handy checklist to ensure you have all the necessary info.

      you may send a max of six cats on patrol! additional cats can be included in your writing, but they won't count towards the rolls and shouldn't be linked in the "cats on patrol" sections. kits also do not count towards explore rolls and shouldn't be linked in this section. your explore writing can be about anything, but should ideally end with / connect to a patrol, since the writer who responds to your post will roll for prey and herbs found on patrol.

      when you first start out, your cats will gain no hunger for your first three posts. your cats also won't encounter any predators or border skirmishes, fall ill, or receive any random injuries. this is to give your cats time to gather food and herbs to survive. these three hunger-free posts are per person, not per clan.

      after you've written and posted your explore, you'll need to wait for a writer to reply to your post before writing another one. writing a quality explore reply can take time, so please be patient. writers have up to four weeks to get a response out to players, though it typically won't take that long. your post wasn't skipped; we have multiple writers claiming different posts, and some might finish their replies sooner than others. for ease, you may also check if your post has been claimed and find all your prior posts and replies on our explore log!

      while exploring, you have a chance to find food, find herbs, encounter some friendly faces, and even find rare items! however, this is a survival game. your cats may get sick, engage in battles with predators, fight in border skirmishes, or receive random injuries. your cats will not die in explore unless you opt-in to death. everything you do in explore will earn you experience, which is used to level-up and earn cool rewards!

      for a more in-depth explanation of all explore mechanics, head on over to the how to play section of the explore thread!



      QUESTS
      another way to gain experience, as well as develop your cats and clan, is to write and/or draw responses to the prompts provided on the quest board! quests can vary from clan traditions, to lore, to something as specific as your founder's favorite prey.

      these prompts are updated monthly, and will earn you exp based on how much effort you put into your response. to use this exp to level up and receive your level up rewards, you'll need to post an explore and link to the exp you earned from the quest board. each prompt will have a few winners chosen as well, who will receive a cool prize!



      LEVELS
      to level up, you'll need to earn experience (exp / xp) through exploring, participating in prompts, or sometimes even events! you'll earn +10 exp for every explore post posted, as well as additional experience for writing, participating in battles, finding herbs/food, etc. every time you level up, you get a reward!

      when you level up, your previous experience is "spent" on the level up and will not roll over to your new level. for example, if you have 135 experience and are level 0, you'll level up to level 1 and have 35 experience left. you cannot skip levels.

      all users start at level zero!
      level one: 100 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, +50 SD
      level two: 200 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, + 1 Herb, +1 Common Edit
      level three: 300 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +1 Herb, +1 NR MYO
      level four: 400 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Uncommon Edit, +1 Stellar Remnants
      level five: 500 xp | Rewards: +3 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Random Custom, +150 SD
      level six: 650 xp | Rewards: +3 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 Star's Blessing, +1 Boon Of Fertility, +100 SD
      level seven: 800 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 C MYO, +1 Shooting Star
      level eight: 950 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 Semi Custom, +300 SD, +1 1UC MYO
      level nine: 1000 xp | Rewards: +5 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 UN MYO, +1 Rare Edit
      level ten: 1200 xp | Rewards: +5 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 UR MYO
      level eleven: 1400 xp | Rewards: +6 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 Supernova
      level twelve: 1600 xp | Rewards: +6 FP, +6 Herbs, +1 Myth Edit

      if you reached a level with an item reward before this announcement post, you can head on over to the archive thread to claim your prize!



      GETTING NEW CATS
      to gain new cats for your clan, you can participate in adopt competitions, purchase customs and MYOs, or breed your cats. you can also sometimes find MYOs in explore, or win them as prizes from the quest board!

      to adopt a cat via a competition, check out the cats colored-in under this page. if a cat has an "adopt me!" sign on their drawing, they're available for adoption. be sure to check the end date though, because some competitions may have already closed!

      to purchase a custom, you'll need to wait for an artist to open slots on the main thread. you can read more about customs here. to purchase a MYO ("make your own"), visit the MYO page. you can design MYOs yourself, or recruit another user/artist to design them for you!

      you can also gain more cats by breeding your cats in the nursery, though you'll need to wait for an artist to open slots. if you don't have two cats yet, you can use the nursery NPCs!



      AGING UP
      apprentices can grow to warriors 3 weeks after being posted. kittens can grow to apprentices 3 weeks after being posted, and then to warriors 6 weeks after the kitten was posted.

      to have your cat grown, please bump the cat's page to remind the artist! some artists will post growths without a reminder, but most do not. there will be a date on the post telling you when your cat can grow so you know exactly what day to bump the thread.

      if you'd like to skip the 3 week wait, the star's grace item in Starclan's shop can be used to skip the wait for one stage of one cat. (for example, a kitten can skip the 3 week wait and grow to an apprentice immediately, but they'll still need to wait another 3 weeks to become a warrior.)



      HONORABLE MENTIONS & RUNNER UPS
      sometimes an artist has a difficult time choosing just one winner for an adopt, and will reward an HM (honorable mention) or RU (runner up) to other entries. HMs can be used to purchase customs; you can find the HM custom prices here. RUs are a second cat designed by the artist that will belong to you.

    Need help! Shadow Cats based on this drawing by Sin Tsukino
    by Sin Tsukino @ Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:33 am [Reply]

    So as you guys may have noticed this species has become more or less dead >.< I don't want the species to die out so I was thinking about making them an open species or maybe co-owning them with someone? I need someone else to keep me motivated with species it seems.

    Selling them is also an option but I don't really want to completely give up on them like that since this species means a lot to me, so I'm after opinions. Should I open them? Would anyone be interested in co-owning them with me? Taking them off here and onto another site is also an option but I fear I would run into the same issue if I did it solo (Skygold has given permission for me to take the lines off of here)

    Sooo.. any ideas?

    fuyunofabuki @ Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:46 am

    I would co-own but I crashed my own closed species I’m just tempted to make them open and leave them as is. But mine is also too important to me. So I feel that as well. Maybe I could bring them back here and we could co-own eachothers? Maybe us both having a species to part manage would make burn out less likely? Just an option. You can dm me I can send you the species

    Maybe that could work, dm me with the species ^^ (or I'll dm you in a few days lol) I won't make any decisions right away I'm going to sit on this for a few days at least. This species is the first I came up with and I met a lot of amazing people from it

    Mastema-Rastus @ Sat Mar 23, 2024 12:27 pm

    Definitely think that co-owning would be a great idea to at least try!

    Irish Chibi Elks ReBoot based on this drawing by Neara
    by IceFire @ Tue Mar 26, 2024 5:08 pm [Reply]

    Image


    Image (Archives, Fan Club, Ask.me, Artist Contest Breeding Topic)
    Welcome to the Irish Elk Chibi's (also known as ICE's) Tabs going to archives, fan club, and ask.fm for questions needing to be asked will be added when made. Also please be wary of the stags as they are very aggressive when defending their territories and the does as they protect their fawns.

    Image

    Their history can be traced back to the ice age some thought to be extinct about 7000 years ago. Until recently many didn't think they could be brought back but with the help of using horse DNA and the red deer as well as American elk DNA together they were able to get both size and design close to the original with some help of the DNA strands recovered from dig sites. The name came from the first discoveries in Ireland even though they had been found to have roam much of Europe.


    Image

    The Irish Elks roam the highlands and mountains in spring and summer traveling to lower regions when the temperature cools as they were made to have less fur then when they might have had during the ice age. They are grazers and thus on the move much like horses they graze on both grasses and plants. Males sport great antlers and much heavier coats then their female counter points and the females though made of a slighter build still have enough bulk to cause damage.


    More information on the actual extinct breed Irish Elk

    IceFire @ Tue Mar 26, 2024 5:11 pm

    Image

    1. Don't beg (meaning I or the artists making will get to the design if it takes longer then normal message me and I will look into it)

    2. Closed species so don't make any that aren't yours to make (no fakes those are for artist contests only)

    3. Limit will be 10 doesn't include fawns (customs may or may not fall under this depending on how out of control it might get) This is to allow artists to not get burned out and will change when more have been added to the team.

    4. Can only win two a day.

    5.Please do not spam, be rude to staff or others, or argue. What I say or those I ask to mod say goes if I think something is unfair I will step in. If I don't catch it you more then welcome to send a me a note but don't harass people in the public forums

    6.There is only six slots for breeding allowed so choose wisely in the future there may be more but until then only six.

    7. You may not sell your ICE's and trading must be brought to my attention along with said artist after I have given the go ahead for it. If you are not sure you may let us choose who it gets readopted out too. Also, there may in the future to keep with store some readoption events so keep a look out.

    8. Don't beg for slots from the group's herd (they will have more slots yes, but they are more as gifts for those that earn it)

    9. Before it gets lost, please keep requests for breeding slots to ims/fanclub/ and possibly streams (last one iffy) and to go with this one after being made whether a starter or breeding will take up to two weeks before being allowed to breed.

    10. they may be breed two weeks after being made this applies to both starters and fawns

    Mule-Eared Torden Horse based on this drawing by Inkiing
    by birch. @ Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:50 am [Reply]

    Image

    The Torden is a rare breed of horse recently gaining international popularity for its history, manner, and all around abilities. Despite popular belief, this horse is not a mule but rather a selectively bred horse that can lead its pure bloodline down to when a small tribe of Vikings first bred them. Initially used to pull carts and plows, the Vikings soon discovered the sure footed, calm, and gentle temperament of these horses made for great mounts. Their savvy intelligence and nearly unspookable nature helped this small tribe soon become a booming force both in Combat and agriculturally. It wasn't long before what was now called the Torden horse to become a sought after breed for many surrounding Norse tribes. The decline of the species came when cross breeding of Dole bloodlines became popular, creating the Fjord and the Icelandic horse for more compact and smooth gaited horses more suited for long travel.

    The Torden recently was revived when a group of conservationists came together and began recreating the species through selective breeding and maintaining a very detailed log. Now that the more modern breed has been revived, it has come to the attention of many horse ranches and show competitions. Their gentle nature still remains intact, very eager to work and please makes them perfect for any form of riding competition, and a sure footed, stoic breed that cannot be spooked. They stand between 13.1hh at the smallest to 15hh at the tallest and weighing in between 900lbs-1200lbs, making them a rather compact yet strong breed of horse. Their coat colors range in color and rarity, though most commonly they will be seen sporting a buckskin or dun coat.

    [center][quote="information"]The Torden is a rare breed of horse recently gaining international popularity for its history, manner, and all around abilities. Despite popular belief, this horse is not a mule but rather a selectively bred horse that can lead its pure bloodline down to when a small tribe of Vikings first bred them. Initially used to pull carts and plows, the Vikings soon discovered the sure footed, calm, and gentle temperament of these horses made for great mounts. Their savvy intelligence and nearly unspookable nature helped this small tribe soon become a booming force both in Combat and agriculturally. It wasn't long before what was now called the Torden horse to become a sought after breed for many surrounding Norse tribes. The decline of the species came when cross breeding of Dole bloodlines became popular, creating the Fjord and the Icelandic horse for more compact and smooth gaited horses more suited for long travel.

    The Torden recently was revived when a group of conservationists came together and began recreating the species through selective breeding and maintaining a very detailed log. Now that the more modern breed has been revived, it has come to the attention of many horse ranches and show competitions. Their gentle nature still remains intact, very eager to work and please makes them perfect for any form of riding competition, and a sure footed, stoic breed that cannot be spooked. They stand between 13.1hh at the smallest to 15hh at the tallest and weighing in between 900lbs-1200lbs, making them a rather compact yet strong breed of horse. Their coat colors range in color and rarity, though most commonly they will be seen sporting a buckskin or dun coat.[/quote]

      ✦ iridescent tail shines
      fossa whiskers & teeth
      ✦ textured manes
      long tongues
      minkish paws

      ✦ fruit, insects, fish
      Kalons [ka·lon] are generally long-furred omnivorous creatures similar in body structure to fossa. These eupleridae vary in size from a house cat to a full-grown liger. They are red blooded, viviparous, and highly protective of their young until the offspring reaches maturity. Their paws are dexterous for grasping food, climbing trees, and to groom one another. The diet of a Kalon tends to consist of fruits, nuts, fish, and insects although some are also known to eat other meat.

      A unique trait specific to the species is a shining, flexible iridescent material found on their tails used mostly for identification and showing off which is helpful when spotting another Kalon from afar. The shine can be compared to a hummingbird or snake’s natural iridescence, and this shimmering association to their own kind has led to many Kalons hoarding shiny or colorful objects they come across. They also tend to create close bonds with fellow species members, especially those within a family unit. They communicate through a series of chatters and growls, each succession of noises unique to form a sort of language. These creatures are active both during the day and the night cycles usually spending time napping in the sunlight or hunting prey after dark.

      Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sapient. Scientists have urged the general population to consider adopting Kalons for further study into their aptitude. Their intelligence has been called similar to that of dolphins.

      Human interference with the species, such as radiation or their sensitivity to airwaves, has caused hundreds of these creatures to form harmless mutations. These genetic transformations vary greatly such as additional limbs, excessive fur growth, and even glowing body parts. The most elusive Kalons are known as legends that walk the earth capable of possessing wings or transparency.

      [ Strikes & Bans List ]

      ✦ Users banned from the Kalon species may not interact with any Kalon threads or the Kalon discord server, including but not limited to trying out for new adopts or readoptions, applying for breedings, or participating in events.

      ✦ The Kalon species reserves the right to strike or ban any user via majority Kalon staff vote in accordance with the assessed severity of the situation.
      ✦ Users are usually given three strikes before a complete ban. Occasionally for offenses great enough, users may be banned before being given any strikes.
      ✦ Users may request appeals of both strikes and bans. The species owner may reverse decisions based on discussion within the staff chat.
      ✦ Kalons of banned users may be readopted based on the severity of the case. This usually occurs in cases where the Staff is concerned banned users may scam others with sales of their Kalons.

      ban information
      upon the occurrence of a ban, you will lose your status as a member of the species.

      you may no longer participate in the species as a whole: community, events, adopts, or otherwise.
      we also ask that you refrain from using our species artwork and lore after you have been banned.

      we will never out-right take goobies that you have purchased or otherwise earned.
      instead, you will have to select their fates from the below options.
      failure to message an admin with your selected fate means we'll automatically assume the first fate listed!

      1. keep your goobies as is. this allows you to gift/trade/sell them within the species.
      2. transfer your design out of the species.
          this allows you to make whatever changes you want to your designs, but they will lose their attachment to the species and be unable to be gifted/traded/sold within the species.
      3. forfeit your ownership rights, and allow us to raffle the goobies off to the community.
          items you owned will also be raffled off to the community.
          you will not be able to select who receives your goobies or items, as this can be seen as ban evading.
      ──────────────────────────────────────────────
      rules are subject to change or be added to at the admins discretion.

      goob growth/transfer leniency 💡 this leniency is intended for growths/transfers!
      • we understand that some designs are difficult to replicate! a goob growth/transfer accuracy should be in the 80% range, which allows room for artist interpretation of difficult to see markings or other similar situations.
      • if you are unable to accurately copy a complex goos design for their growth/transfer, beyond the 80% range, you are welcome to invoke goob growth/transfer leniency. please note that simplifying your goob's design will be permanent, although it maintains the intention of sticking as close to the original design as possible.
      • you may also invoke connection leniency while growing/transferring a goob! connection leniency allows you to alter the goob's design beyond would be an accurate growth/transfer, in the hopes of helping you connect more to the design. changes made can only be minor in nature. goobies invoking growth/transfer connection leniency can only be approved by an admin.

        • if your goob has never been bred:
          • you may change the design however you wish.
          • the trait list may be swapped within the same tier (for example, swapping out g1 fur to g1 tongue shape).
        • if your goob has been bred:
          • the design may be edited slightly or reasonably, without original artist's permission.
          • the trait list must remain the same unless an item is being used to add/remove traits.
        • if if you are not the original owner of the myo/custom:
          • you may not invoke this leniency without permission from an admin.
      • please note that only goobies made from myo tickets or items can invoke this leniency.
      • the owner of the goob must seek approval for leniency, but anyone may create the goob's new design.
          this new design can also be commissioned, just like any other goob design.
      • goobies invoking this leniency must go through the same approval process as new myo goobies.
      • each goob may only invoke this leniency once, unless approved by an admin.
      • allows you to: alter the design of a myo/custom goob.

      adoption connection leniency 💡 this leniency is intended for adopts/scented goos!
      • we understand that sometimes, there's just something little keeping you from loving a design completely... this leniency is to help you connect better with a goob you received via adoption or through scented goo creation!
      • please note that this change will be permanent, and should be only a minor change to the design overall.
      • you may use this leniency to make a variety of possible changes, such as: simplifying the design, removing a marking, adjusting a marking, changing a markings' color, or etc...!
      • scented goobs must be max level/removed from scented goob status in order to invoke this leniency.
      • this allows you to: make minor changes to an adopted/scented goob

      pretty-up goob leniency 💡 this leniency is intended for adjusting a goob’s line art.
      • some goobies might just be old or lack that same touch of love other goobies have, this leniency is to show love to those goobies by updating them!
      • this leniency does not allow you to change the goob's design or traits, it only allows you to update linework, shading, and other stylistic choices. please keep the prettied up edits looking as close to the original's intended as possible.
      • this allows you to: redo edits, redo linework, redo hair style, redo shading/effects, and possibly more, upon request!

      stylist goob leniency 💡 intended for changing your goob's hairstyle!
      • is it time to change things up? this leniency is for changing your goob’s hairstyle- anything goes! change the color, length, style, as much and as often as you like!

      cleanse leniency 💡 intended for removing traits applied by items!
      • regretting the changes you made to your goob? this leniency will allow you to remove the traits added by items, and bring your goob back to the state they were in prior to any changes made. please does not return your used items back to you!
      • you must provide a link to the goob's update, where the items were first used, in order to invoke this leniency!
      • this allows you to: remove traits applied by an item

      revoke leniency 💡 intended for removing other leniencies!
      • regretting a change someone else invoked on a goob you just obtained? this leniency will allow you to undo the previous leniencies invoked by them, and bring your goob back to the state they were in prior to any changes made.
      • this leniency can only be invoked by a goob's new owner, meaning, you can only use this leniency to remove leniencies placed upon a goob by another user.
      • this allows you to: undo previously applied leniencies

    goobies | scented goos based on this drawing by castiiian

      main thread
      ──────────────────────────────────────────────
      welcome to the goobies' scented goos!
      if you have a scented goo, this is how you get it made into a goob!
      ──────────────────────────────────────────────
      NOTES
      ──────────────────────────────────────────────
      • please remember to follow all rules.
      • you may develop an unlimited amount of scented goobies at a time.
        just be sure to organize their development, so artists don't get confused on how much exp has been earned!
      • please only post scented goo forms when an artist posts openings!
      • please do not post questions here, as they may be lost!
        instead, pm a staff member or drop the question in our discord.
      ──────────────────────────────────────────────
      QUICK Q AND A
      ──────────────────────────────────────────────
      how do i get a scented goo?
        there are several ways to earn scented goos, such as through events, the kudos shop, or boosting the discord server!
        until you're ready to use this item, it will be stored in the bank under your username!
      what can i do with scented goo?
        scented goos can be used to create a goob!
        these goobies are made by official artists.
        think of it as a way to get a myo made by a goobies' artist for free!
      how do scented goos work?
        scented goos come in a few different tiers, depending on how much you develop them.
        developing them includes writing or art, both of which are turned into "experience" to increase your goo's growth tier!

        experience chart
        • 100 words = 1 point
        • any art = 1 point
        growth tier levels
        • growth 0: 0-2 experience points
        • growth 1: 3-5 experience points
        • growth 2: 6-8 experience points
        • growth 3: 9-10+ experience points

      growth tiers traits
      you'll get all traits listed under each growth, except for the ones with "or", you'll have to pick between the two options then!
      it's up to the artists to choose which traits to add, though you may wish for certain traits.
      there is a min and a max number of traits you can get.
      • growth 0: (0-2 exp)
          no edits.
      • growth 1: (3-5 exp)
          (1-2) g1 traits or (1-2) t1 traits
      • growth 2: (6-8 exp)
          (1-2) g1 traits and (1-2) t1 traits: min/max = (1-4) g1/t1 traits
          (1-2) g2 traits or (1-2) t2 traits
      • growth 3: (9-10+ exp)
          (1-2) g1 traits and (1-2) t1 traits: min/max = (1-4) g1/t1 traits
          (1-2) g2 traits and (1-2) t2 traits: min/max = (1-4) g2/t2 traits
          (1) g3 trait or (1) t3 trait
      • example of what a fully grown goob might have:
          (1-10) g1/t1 traits
          (1-6) g2/t2 traits
          (1) g3/t3 trait

      what if i want my goob's original design and edits to be made by the same artist?
        wait for that artist to post openings! you don't have to post every time there is an opening, of course.
      can i use my scented goob for events?
        absolutely!
      can i breed my scented goob?
        of course!
      what does trait selection mean?
        for the last decision of each growth level, you can only select one or the other, so for example...
        for growth 1, would you rather have (1-2) g1 traits or (1-2) t1 traits?
        for growth 2, would you rather have (1-2) g2 traits or (1-2) t2 traits?
        for growth 3, would you rather have (1) g3 trait or (1) t3 trait?
      i need some ideas on what to write about for growing my goob...
        here's some ideas, write about your goob's: personality, relationships, inspirations, ambitions, hobbies, or home.
      how do i draw my goob if they don't have a design yet?
        you can draw what their home looks like, their favorite places, and even how they looked like as a goo!
      can i add items to my scented goob?
        you cannot add items to your scented goob!
        if you want to add items to your goob, you must first remove them from scented goob status, or wait until they reach growth level 3!
      i have a "personal scented goob", what is that?
        this is a special item only staff can receive!
        it allows them to post for a scented goob at any time, even when there are no "slots" open.
        just post a form below with your requested artist!

    castiiian @ Thu Apr 13, 2023 8:36 am

        opening slots!
        picking a few, preferring those who have only a small amount of goobies,
        so preferred if you would share how many goobies you have when you post your scented goob form! <3
        closing these slots later tonight (like, 5-6 hours from now)

    hi ! welcome !!
    axioms are creatures surrounded by mystery, known for their affinity for people - especially kids.
    they're tall, about 4'5 / 134 cm on average, but gentle and loving beings. also, they can't bite!
    you see, the very first axiom was born just like all the others. a young girl came to a witch,
    holding a bizarre looking stuffed toy. "please miss," she asked, "bring my friend to life."
    the witch complied and, born from a spell, came forth one of these dog like creatures.
    without a face, it felt disconnected from its owner. she made it a mask, so it could smile.
    and hey, what do you know? next morning, every kid on the block wanted one!

    the witch makes them in bulk now. maybe she'll have one to your liking?

    As your patrol nears the Twoleg border, you notice Hana sitting there -- possibly waiting for someone. With a sigh, your patrol leader asks what she's up to and reminds her that this is clan territory, so she shouldn't be sitting right at the border. The small snow Bengal casts a playful glower at them before speaking. "Haha very funny, I know that! I actually have some very important business here. Could you tell me a little bit about.."

      EXPERIENCE
      Experience is awarded based on how many words you write, and/or the content of your art. All entries will receive experience (as long as you follow the art/writing only rules)!

      Here is our writing exp scale, and here is our art exp scale. The writing exp scale is the same as the one used in explore. The art exp scale may be subject to change in the future.



      STARDUST
      If you earn at least 60 exp total from all of your quest responses in a round, then you're eligible to receive stardust as a prize as well! You don't need 60+ exp from each quest; just 60 overall (i.e. 30 from quest one, 20 from quest two, 10 from quest three).

      Your exp will be converted to stardust as follows: 1 exp = 2 stardust
      Don't worry, you'll still receive experience as well! The stardust is just an additional, bonus prize.



      WINNERS
      Winners are chosen based on effort, quality, and creativity. Prizes vary between months and quests, but Hana's favorite entries from each quest will receive a rarer bonus prize!

      Q: How do we win prizes? What can we win?
      A:
      Participating in quests will earn you experience, stardust, or even special items! The more you write or add to your art, the more experience and stardust you could earn

      Q: Are we allowed to answer all three quests available for the month?
      A:
      Yes, absolutely!

      Q: Can Hana ask the same question twice?
      A:
      Theoretically, yes! Our quests are chosen via random number generator from a document that only staff have access to

      Q: May I suggest a prompt?
      A:
      Yes!! Please do! My DMs are always open to prompt suggestions <3

      Q: How are the pieces judged?
      A:
      Experience and stardust are awarded by effort, and winners are chosen by effort, quality, and creativity!

      Q: I responded to a prompt, but didn't get any exp! What happened?
      A:
      Please double check the requirements for the prompt. Writing done for art-only prompts and art done for writing-only prompts won't count for any experience. If you followed the prompt requirements and answered the right prompt, then there may have been a mistake on our end; we're only human after all! Please DM one of the staff members who helped judged to let them know!

      BASICS
      to start exploring, just fill out the explore code provided in the above post! you may change the formatting, but please be sure to keep all the information from the base coding clearly visible. here is a handy checklist to ensure you have all the necessary info.

      you may send a max of six cats on patrol! additional cats can be included in your writing, but they won't count towards the rolls and shouldn't be linked in the "cats on patrol" sections. kits also do not count towards explore rolls and shouldn't be linked in this section. your explore writing can be about anything, but should ideally end with / connect to a patrol, since the writer who responds to your post will roll for prey and herbs found on patrol.

      when you first start out, your cats will gain no hunger for your first three posts. your cats also won't encounter any predators or border skirmishes, fall ill, or receive any random injuries. this is to give your cats time to gather food and herbs to survive. these three hunger-free posts are per person, not per clan.

      after you've written and posted your explore, you'll need to wait for a writer to reply to your post before writing another one. writing a quality explore reply can take time, so please be patient. writers have up to four weeks to get a response out to players, though it typically won't take that long. your post wasn't skipped; we have multiple writers claiming different posts, and some might finish their replies sooner than others. for ease, you may also check if your post has been claimed and find all your prior posts and replies on our explore log!

      while exploring, you have a chance to find food, find herbs, encounter some friendly faces, and even find rare items! however, this is a survival game. your cats may get sick, engage in battles with predators, fight in border skirmishes, or receive random injuries. your cats will not die in explore unless you opt-in to death. everything you do in explore will earn you experience, which is used to level-up and earn cool rewards!



      FOOD
      the most basic need for survival is food, which is something your cats will have to explore to find. food points (FP) can be found randomly on many patrols. the amount of food you find varies by season and number of cats on patrol. during some seasons, your cats may receive a bountiful hunt -- which doubles the FP they find!

      if you are running dangerously low on FP, you can purchase or swap for some from mousespeck. if you have some spare FP, you can also trade those to mousespeck for stardust, which can be used to buy cool items from starclan!

      your cats will gain +10% HUP (hunger) per patrol. this hunger gain only applies to the cats sent on that patrol. for your first three explore posts, none of your cats will gain any hunger. if a cat reaches 60% hunger or above, they will lose -10% health every patrol they go on, until they're fed enough FP to lower their hunger below 60%. each FP that you feed to a cat will remove -10% of their hunger.

      if you don't fill out a custom predator/prey form, your clan will find the default prey:

        1 FP = scraps, bugs
        2 FP = mouse, vole, shrew, small fish
        3 FP = minnow, squirrel, frog
        4 FP = rabbit, bird, owl, falcon
        5 FP = hawk, eagle, vulture

      HEALTH  &  HEALING
      to survive, a cat's health (HP) must be in prime condition. cats' injuries can be healed and their health can be recovered using herbs. cats can lose health from predator battles and border skirmishes, illnesses, random injuries, and being too hungry. you can find herbs through explore, trade, or purchasing from or swapping with mousespeck.

      when a cat gets injured, they may need a few herbs to heal the initial injury. (if they do, the writer will let you know!) these herbs will not recover any of the cat's lost health, but they will stop the cat from losing further health. if the cat's original injury isn't healed, they will lose -5% health per post. this health loss stops as soon as they're given enough herbs to heal the injury.

      to heal a cat's lost health, the cat will need to stay at camp with some herbs. each herb will heal 10% health, and a cat can only stay at camp with a max of 2 herbs at a time. the cat will not be able to patrol while healing. to help out our writer team, please be sure to state that the cat is staying at camp to recover!



      SICKNESS
      during leaf-bare (winter) and leaf-fall (autumn), your cats are able to get sick. your cats are not able to get sick during your first three explore posts. every post that a cat spends sick, they will lose -10% HP. if a cat's health is at or below 40% HP, the sickness has a chance to spread to other cats on patrol. if you are opted-in to death, sick cats have a small chance for their illness to immediately worsen, and the cat will die. if you need help finding a specific herb to heal an illness, check out mousespeck's swaps!


      RANDOM  INJURIES
      sometimes a clumsy apprentice or empty-headed warrior may accidentally get hurt while on patrol, losing a bit of HP in the process. this will not happen during your first three explore posts. these injuries do not require an herb to heal the initial injury and prevent further health loss, but the cat will eventually need to stay at camp with an herb or two to recover their lost health (see healing above).


      PREDATORS
      as your cats explore, there's a chance that they'll encounter a predator. you will be given the choice between pursuing or ignoring the predator, though sometimes a battle will start immediately if the predator is especially hostile. pursuing a predator will increase your chance of starting a fight, and ignoring them will decrease that chance.

      initiating a battle with a predator can help you gain extra XP, but it can also cause your cats to receive injuries. if you are opted-in to death, your cats can die in predator battles. there is a cooldown to prevent your cats from encountering predators too often.

      the default predator list is: badger, fox, bird of prey, dog, snake. you can create your own custom predator list by filling out a custom predator/prey form!



      BORDER  SKIRMISHES
      occasionally, your clan cats may find or smell another group of cats. whether these are loners, rogues, or an opposing clan’s patrol, there is a chance that they may be hostile and attack your patrol. your cats’ actions can also cause a fight to break out, which can result in injuries or, if you’re opted in, death. a border skirmish will not start while you're encountering a predator.


      NPC  QUESTS
      sometimes, fennel (they/them) or furzetuft (she/her) will visit a patrol to ask for a small favor! they're both peaceful cats, and will not engage your clan in a fight, nor appear when a player rolls for a predator encounter or a border skirmish. some quests may involve giving the cat a few herbs or FP, while others may take a few posts, be more interactive and follow a story, or even require doing something outside of explore. when you receive a quest from one of these npcs, be sure to link it in "active quests" until you've completed it!


      DEATHS
      opting in to death rolls is entirely optional. if you do not opt in, your cats will not die. all users are automatically opted out of death rolls; opting in must be done manually. you can opt in to death here. opting in will double all exp you earn in explore. you'll also receive a rare "star's greetings" item (an edit item that gives a cat a starclan lines ref) and a "revive" item (brings a cat who died in explore back to life).

      if you’ve opted in, your cats can die from the following: predators have a small chance of killing a cat in a fight. border skirmishes that escalate to a fight can result in a death. uncured illnesses (which can only be caught during leaf-fall and leaf-bare) have a small chance of resulting in death. reaching 0 HP can also kill a cat, which can be caused by injuries, illness, or hunger. random fatal injuries (such as drowning, falling off a cliff, etc.) may also occur.

      when a cat dies in explore, you will receive one star's greetings item; this item does not necessarily need to be applied to the cat who died. cats who've died in explore cannot used in explore, have litters, or be traded/gifted to another user. you can apply a revive item to a cat to bring them back to life.



      LEVELS
      to level up, you'll need to earn experience (exp / xp) through exploring, participating in prompts, or sometimes even events! you'll earn +10 exp for every explore post posted, as well as additional experience for writing, participating in battles, finding herbs/food, etc. every time you level up, you get a reward!

      when you level up, your previous experience is "spent" on the level up and will not roll over to your new level. for example, if you have 135 experience and are level 0, you'll level up to level 1 and have 35 experience left. you cannot skip levels.

      all users start at level zero!
      level one: 100 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, +50 SD
      level two: 200 xp | Rewards: +1 FP, + 1 Herb, +1 Common Edit
      level three: 300 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +1 Herb, +1 NR MYO
      level four: 400 xp | Rewards: +2 FP, +2 Herbs, +1 Uncommon Edit, +1 Stellar Remnants

      level six: 650 xp | Rewards: +3 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 Star's Blessing, +1 Boon Of Fertility, +100 SD
      level seven: 800 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +3 Herbs, +1 C MYO, +1 Shooting Star
      level eight: 950 xp | Rewards: +4 FP, +4 Herbs, +1 Semi Custom, +300 SD, +1 1UC MYO

      level eleven: 1400 xp | Rewards: +6 FP, +5 Herbs, +1 Supernova

      if you want to make your explores more personalized, you are given the chance to pick what prey and/or predators will appear in your territory! this is completely optional, but otherwise writers will use the generic lists for prey and predators when replying to your posts
      - your prey list should have at least 1 item for each FP value; 2-3 items per FP value is ideal
      - you can make your list specific or not (i.e. mouse or small rodent)
      - fantasy prey is allowed, but please keep your lists realistic (i.e. a bear shouldn't be prey, an eagle shouldn't be worth 1 FP, etc.)
        examples of prey:
        1 FP = scraps, bugs
        2 FP = mouse, vole, shrew, small fish
        3 FP = minnow, squirrel, frog
        4 FP = rabbit, bird, owl, falcon
        5 FP = hawk, eagle, vulture
      - your predator list should have 1-4 items
      - these items shouldn't be cats; those are rolled as border skirmishes!
        examples of predators:
        badger, fox, bird of prey, dog, snake
      - please make sure to link your custom prey/predator list in each explore post you make!
      If you'd like to pick your own prey and predators:

    Range Trotter #4588 based on this drawing by HowlingHooves
    by Bruja @ Wed Mar 27, 2024 12:47 pm [Reply]

    Range Trotters are the result of crossbreeding Orlov Trotters, Finnhorses, Welsh Cobs (section C & D) and Hanoverians. Later crosses of Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosas to gain color and to give a boost to their hardiness.With a height average of 13-15 hands, they're a hardy breed with characteristics for various disciplines.

    Created for use as work, carriage and leisure riding horses originally, they now serve as long-distance range horses, such as work with Park Rangers and mounted officers.

    Willing and eager personalities, most are quickly trained to be bombproof and therefore trusted mounts in all lines of work; some are being seen in local show jumping competitions, others are notably used in therapeutic sessions for their calm temperaments. Harness races and endurance trials are common for the breed, as they are able to sustain an extended trot without tire. Cross-Country competitions see some of the taller Trotters, but due to their cob lineage this is still uncommon.

    Despite the variety of competitions and work these horses are being seen in, they are still famously skilled as endurance racers. Many competitors have chosen Range Trotters due to their tireless work ethic, as well as the ease in which they can be trained. Many have become champions in endurance trials, and they have quickly become a sought after breed for their natural ability.

      • All CS rules apply, this includes interactions on our discord server.

      • Range Trotters are a non-profit closed species. You may use them elsewhere, but please link back to the species adopt to give proper credit. Users may not be added to the adopts they have won, customs ordered or breedings created.

      • A storage page must be updated fully in order to request breedings. This includes proper and easy to find links to individual trotters, lineages and slot usage. Sites such as weebly, toy-house, or on-site are acceptable, but deviantart storage is not. There is currently no limit to how many Trotters you may own.

      • V1 trotters may be used in breedings in V2, but cannot be used to compete. They must be named and updated with all necessary information mentioned above.

      • Items, small edits (ie. horns, cloven hooves, etc.) mane/tail edits are acceptable, but all other edit types, including feathering, lion tails and roman noses, are no longer acceptable in the adopt. Any edits made are subject to pass in breedings via the breeding artist requested, they are not a guarantee. Any larger line edits released will be discussed among the team and done so via an event to ensure an equal opportunity for the community to obtain without charge.

      • Transfers from V1 to V2 are not permitted at this time. This may or may not change.

      • Custom Range Trotters may be sold for the price they were paid for. The price cannot exceed 250c$, unless in the event artwork has been made for the Trotter. If discussing USD sales, they must be taken offsite per CS rules. All artists have their own prices for customs, and it is expected to abide by their individual rules.

      • Pet and Item worth is taken into account for C$ value! If you’re unsure, please check with the appropriate forum for pet or item worth.

      • Free Adopts cannot be sold for currency! You did not pay for them, they cannot be purchased for C$, pets or items, or real currency. They can be traded for other trotters, breeding slots, or outside adopts (if rules permit.)

      • Please do not bump adopts for the purpose of updating images, or completing unjudged adopts. I, HowlingHooves, tries to go through periodically to have things updated but if it has been more run 30 days since the end date or judge date, please contact me for a status update.

      • All official documentation regarding Range Trotters must be made on-site via PMs with admin and/or archivists. If it is not done so, information is subject to be lost and/or not received by all parties. To avoid confusion, please be sure you are sending PMs to the proper parties! Permissions, questions or comments are the exception and can be made elsewhere.

      • When transferring ownership of Range Trotters, the former owner and the new owner must post on the page stating the transfer has been made. The former owner must also post on the trade archive thread with the form stating who is receiving and how the trade was completed. (ie. slot trades, full trotter trade, pet trade, etc.) updated!

      • In the event of a site ban, all owned trotters are subject to revocation and redistribution among the community. Creating artists are given the option to adopt first, and any others will be readopted out via raffles. All site-banned users are permitted a grace period of two months before this will be done.

      • In the event of a species ban, any owned trotters that were not received from V1, Auctions, or Paid Imports will be revoked from the banned user. They will then be redistributed via raffle throughout the community in our discord server. New!

      • Rules are subject to addition, alteration or removal at any given time.

      Image
      • All trotters have five breeding slots. V1 trotters may still breed if they have available slots.

      • All horses must be named, have a halter and have a fully up to date storage in order to breed. A warning will be given to users who abuse this on multiple occasions. This includes V1 trotters, if they are being used for breeding purposes.

      • Foals grow in 14 days from their post date. If a growth has not been posted for 30 days after the growth date, please contact HowlingHooves directly via PM on-site.

      • Breedings are limited to 6 per community member! However, Wild Dog Overo breedings can only be ordered twice a month per user, with both breedings being created by different artists. Artists do not have a monthly limit.

      • Artists are encouraged to order breedings from others, but may create personal breedings. Rolling is preferred to be done by another staff member.

      • Any edits on parents are not guaranteed to pass to offspring. This decision is up to the breeding artist, and edits should not be requested to pass in forms. Edits must follow the above guidelines, regardless of whether the trotters are from V1 or V2.

      • Dyed manes and/or tails cannot pass to offspring. Colored hair is created via customs, and as such foals should not have colored hair.

      • Rules are subject to addition, alteration or removal at any given time.

      Image
      • Artists are encouraged to try to make one adopt per month. This does not include customs or breedings.

      • In order to open customs, three free adopts should be made per batch opening. This is non-negotiable as of implementation May 1st, 2022.

      • New staff may only create a custom hub after three months of active service. This activity will be counted as adopts, not breedings. new!

      • New staff may only be added to the Auction Block after three months of active service. This activity will be counted as adopts, not breedings. new!

      • Artists may make a personal custom once per month. These do not roll over into future months,
      but a previous months custom can be created up until the 4th of each month.

      • Please try to keep genetics correct. If you have questions, don't ever be afraid to ask. Chances are someone else may be
      struggling with the same thing, and it will benefit everyone in the long run. ♥

      • Please try to keep rare markings less common. There is no official ratio to follow, but as a rule of thumb most adopts made should more often be common-uncommon with some rare traits seen as well. Limited markings should be restricted to imports, events or special release numbers.

      [size=85][center][quote]Range Trotters are the result of crossbreeding Orlov Trotters, Finnhorses, Welsh Cobs (section C & D) and Hanoverians. Later crosses of Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosas to gain color and to give a boost to their hardiness.With a height average of 13-15 hands, they're a hardy breed with characteristics for various disciplines.

      Created for use as work, carriage and leisure riding horses originally, they now serve as long-distance range horses, such as work with Park Rangers and mounted officers.

      Willing and eager personalities, most are quickly trained to be bombproof and therefore trusted mounts in all lines of work; some are being seen in local show jumping competitions, others are notably used in therapeutic sessions for their calm temperaments. Harness races and endurance trials are common for the breed, as they are able to sustain an extended trot without tire. Cross-Country competitions see some of the taller Trotters, but due to their cob lineage this is still uncommon.

      Despite the variety of competitions and work these horses are being seen in, they are still famously skilled as endurance racers. Many competitors have chosen Range Trotters due to their tireless work ethic, as well as the ease in which they can be trained. Many have become champions in endurance trials, and they have quickly become a sought after breed for their natural ability.[/quote][/center]

      Unlike other adopt species, ghost staff listed here are a group of members who are not restricted by the adopts per month quota.
      These positions were reserved for individuals who had helped with the creation of the current version of Range Trotters,
      or were offered the position for their assistance current or previous.
      These members are considered full-time benefit artists.
      These positions are not open to other artists or staff on the team.

      The NRTrA has a special shop just for members!
      They offer a few items that will give their horse the chance to participate in their hosted shows, as well as some boosters in regards to breeding.

      They accept a form of currency called Honorable Mentions, or HMs.
      Artists can give out HMs to users in any adopt they host, with the exception of FCFS or Raffle types, to users they feel are deserving. These are usually based on a personal liking for any form(s) that did not win the adopt, and so tastes will vary among the artist team when they do give out HMs.
      There is no limit to how many HMs any user can win, but artists should only award a max of three users per regular adopt.
      Special adopts may have two HMs awarded per user, but only a max of three users may be given HMs. Special adopts are only posted every 500 numbers.

      The shop has a full inventory, standard items will never cycle in or out of stock.
      Some items, however, may only be won or purchased from special events! These items will not be available after the event has ended. Some items will always be available even after an event has ended, however.

      To purchase any items, please be sure to double check your current HM stock.
      If you have enough for the item in question, just send a PM or a DM to HowlingHooves asking to purchase the item.

      Inventories & Shop

      Please be aware that the HM inventory is not updated immediately!
      It is done on a monthly basis, usually mid-month, and so you may not see all HMs tagged under your name.
      An update date is posted on both the HM and Item inventory sheets, but if you have won other HMs after that date and would like to use them please provide a link back to the post awarding the HM.
      Items won from events will be added to inventories after the event has ended. If these items are used during the event, no need to worry! I've got it marked down as used if this is done.
      Please do not send messages about updating item inventories if items are awarded from the competition threads!
      I have a system to adding competition items, and these will not be added until full updates are made time for.
      Thank you!

    A Plate Dragon is a subspecies of dragon! They have "Plates" on the side of their cheeks and on their butts! They also have scales around their bodies such as on their faces, legs, and tail! Another unique feature are the "spikes" on the end of their tails and horns that can range in many different shapes and sizes that are used for protection and battle. They usually live in jungles or forests but can be found anywhere. They are extremely venomous, and can projectile their venom when in danger! They use this tactic when feeling threatened or scared so as long as you have good intentions they wont hurt you! They are feisty but you'll be lucky to have one as your friend if it gives you its trust!

    What are we?
    Llaqueraux (Lha-ker-aux) is a species of large intelligent lifeform found in Kepler-02.
    These creatures adapted to the life in the cold, sea-dominated planet, having shorter fur,
    warm blood and incredible ability to swim, with fins between their front fingers.
    Their common name is a mixture between the words Llama, Masquerade and Faux.

    They develop, through their lives, three main traits. Facial structures commonly
    called Masks, a series of plates on their faces made of bone or chitin, alongside crystals that grow
    from their tears. The crystals grow further as they age, but most keep the same similar
    structure. Some older Llaqueraux develop further; Their masks grow out further then,
    into new shapes and, sometimes, vibrant colorations and patterns.

      glimmerwolves~☆
    what's a glimmerwolf? wrote:a glimmerwolf is a mystical being that is half wolf/half horse.
    they come in three magical varieties, with each variety having
    its own set of skills, abilities, and habitats. glimmerwolf fur is
    said to glimmer in the sunlight, as if they were coated with
    glitter! the sparkles in their fur can be collected when they
    shed and are used in a handful of potion and spell recipes.
    glimmmerwolves enjoy anything they find sweet! they love
    adorning themselves with clothing and jewellery that fit
    their unique style.

        glimmerwolves are a silly semi-open species inspired by 2000s/early 2010s sparkledog type ocs ^__^
        I'll be keeping these semi-open and making adopts every once in a while. I miiight open up an artist search in the near future but besides that I'm the only person running the place :-D
        there will likely be no discord server for this species unless there is a lot of interest in this species...otherwise the most I will probably do is make a fanclub thread.
        anyway this species is just for fun, don't take things super seriously, have fun and etc. yippeeee

      rules & guidelines
        glimmerwolves are semi-open, meaning that you are allowed to make your own glimmerwolf (using our base or custom drawn) under our MYO thread, but must have them approved by a staff member if you would like to use them to participate in the species' community. there will also be adopts made under here that will be free to enter or paid adopts made by artists on the staff team.

        you are allowed to make a glimmerwolf to use as a personal character. you are not allowed to make glimmerwolves to sell for profit or to host adopt competitions, as that is something only artists on the staff team can do.

        glimmerwolf inspired ocs and etc. are okay to make but won't be recognized as official glimmerwolves and cannot be used within the species' community if they are not approved or made by an artist on the staff team. it's completely fine to make them but they won't have the official "glimmerwolf" name so to speak.

    🔔Ribbonwish Bellwisps🎀 based on this drawing by Waytown
    by Waytown @ Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:23 am [Reply]

    Image
    Ribbonwish Bellwisps, commonly called Waytown Bowfoxes, are a small, vulpine creature that is rather defenseless at birth, though gains ribbons and psychic abilities as they get older. They are often given bells as tribute; in exchange for protection, as they easily deter predators, chasing them away from livestock and townsfolk. They live in small family groups of 5-10, often called a chime or a ring, and are known for being omnivorous. They are commonly found in browns and greys, but seem to come in a variety of colors and patterns.
